I honestly didn't watch last years or the year before or the year before

I would rather watch a collage marching band then the halftime show the NFL has.

Who was last years show ?

That would be your opinion. If you want to see bad go rewatch last year's show

Half time show bad bunny is really

BAD !!

I gave it about 30 seconds and turned the channel

I like the skiing, especially the downhill and slalom events. I was a skier when
I was a teenager, so I can get into it.

Don’t call me gay, there’s nothing wrong with it, btw, 😀 but I love watching the figure skating pairs.

When you see a world class skater do a performance, live, as I did a few years ago with Katelyn Osmond, the power and precision is a surprise the first time you see it.

Like, they jump higher than it looks on TV. It’s pretty incredible to watch in person.

I hate Boston’s sports teams, their [censored] fans, the city and the media. I said before the game started that Seattle’s defence would control the game and they’d win by 10/plus, their D is just so dominant. But NE’s D can keep things tight.

Not sure if this is where you were going with that response, but my comments on here should, in no way, be taken as a defense of Haslam. I have little doubt that he had some sort of influence in this whole thing going sideways.

Now that that's out of the way, I'm sure not getting the promotion is disappointing for Schwartz... but it happens all the time (especially in the NFL). If he had handled this like an adult, he would've made his displeasure known, and entered the coaching cycle next season. I think I'd be more inclined to agree with you if he had people knocking down his door for interviews... but he doesn't.

Also, I forgot to mention that I had read that the whole 'Assistant HC' loophole that you (as I have earlier) described is no longer applicable. Apparently all position coach jobs and coordinator jobs are on equal footing. There was a rule change on this in 2020, and I'm having a hard time finding the actual wording as it applies to Schwartz so please correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that the ol' "just slap asst HC on there" move isn't really a thing anymore as it applies to coordinators moving into other coordinator jobs prior to their contract being up.


I'm sticking with what I said before... if this is how he handles disappointing news, then I'm not so sure Schwartz is cut out for HC of the Browns.

I'm rooting for the Seahawks.

I want to see Sam Darnold get the win.

I didn't do it a staffer did it. I don't do no stinking apologies.

Should be a good game.

I don't care who wins.

Should be a great hockey tournament! On the women’s side they might as well set up US/CAN

The men’s will be much more interesting…

US/SWE is my gold game bet but CAN could beat SWE

I think that's very basic math that trumpians can't quite seem to come to grips with.

See, here's where things may not be as cut and dry as some would like to make it sound.

Did the Browns bring him in and talk to him before they hired Monkin or did they just call him in and tell him, "This is how it is." and spring it on him without any consultation? Did they sit the two of them down together in a meeting before the hire was made to try and work anything out beforehand?

What makes you think a new HC may not wish to change at least a part of the defensive coaching staff? What makes you think a new HC would just decide he would have no say on the D side of the ball?

You see, I have no idea the way any of this was handled or mishandled as the case may be. But then neither does anyone else jumping to the conclusion this was just some baseless temper tantrum on the part of Schwartz. They are just basing it on a very few facts with zero details of the way all of this went down to provide any context.

Often times it's not the moves a corporation makes as it is the callus and and uncaring way they go about it. For this owner and FO to get respect they have to show the people who have proven they deserve respect, respect as well.

I'm not sure that happened here. But then neither does anyone else. It may be that the way it happened has more to do with the results than what happened. Speaking for myself I certainly don't trust that this owner and FO handled it in the best way possible. If they did it would be one of those very rare times. I certainly don't truat them enough to claim this entire situation rests solely on the shoulders of Schwartz while claiming they had zero culpability.

But to each their own I suppose.

Why is it only a problem in states he has lost? and years he has lost them?

It's free for fans to watch it on NBC at 6:00 P.M. E.S.T.

I can't blame the NFL because wages didn't keep up with ticket prices. NFL games sell out every week. The SB sells out every year. Being an NFL fan I watch games every week and the SB every year.

Storming out of the office after not getting a promotion (especially if half the details of his exit are true) is absolutely throwing a temper tantrum. He just had to coach the same defense with the same coaching staff for one season and he'd be THE top hire in the next coaching cycle. Instead, he confirmed the decision to NOT hand him the reigns of a franchise. He probably did more to hurt his chances in the next cycle.

I haven't been subtle of what I think about the Patriots. I think Seattle smothers their O from the opening kick, and it gets ugly after the half. I think Darnold gets pulled and the backup gets a few drives in the 4th, along with the victory formation.

I predict as in years past, I don’t watch it.
It isn’t even for the fans anymore. What does a ticket even cost anymore?

I'm surprised that nobody had posted this yet but since nobody else did here goes............

Predict the winner of the Super Bowl. You can add the prediction of the score as well if you so choose and your reasoning for your prediction also if you so choose.

I'm predicting the Seahawks will win. But it's not as easy for me to predict as I first thought it would be.

The Patriots defense is considered a top-10 unit, finishing the season allowing 18.8 points per game (4th best) and ranking 8th in total defense (295.2 yards per game). They are particularly strong against the pass, with some metrics ranking their pass defense 9th (193.5 yards allowed.

The Patriots finished the regular season ranked 3rd in total offense, averaging 379.4 yards per game. They also ranked 2nd in scoring with 28.8 points per game and 4th in passing offense (250.5 yards per game).

I will say that new England's schedule was somewhat weak so I'm allowing for that.

The Seahawks were the #1 ranked overall defense in DVOA and the top-ranked scoring defense (17.2 points per game). Under Mike Macdonald, they lead the league in several key metrics, including 3rd-down conversions (32.05%) and overall defensive efficiency entering the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks averaged 28.4 points per game, ranking as a top-three scoring offense in the league. They finished as the 7th ranked offense in terms of yards per game (351.4) in 2025.

The only places I feel the Seahawks have an advantage an advantage is by having a more experienced QB and more dynamic big play makers.

So I'm going with......

Seahawks 27

Patriots 20

Enjoy your Kool-Aid. It is a problem that does not matter. Except to Trump, to rationalize the fact that he is an a..hole and lost in 2020 to Grandpa Joe.

With Lindsey Vonn crashing this morning other than hockey there's not a lot left for me in terms of interest in these games.

It's all based on the people in charge combined with a little luck. By a little luck that means first you will need a team that can compete with the top 5 teams in the league. Only the owner and GM can build such a roster and such a team. Only they can assemble a coaching staff that can make the most of such a talented roster.

No, there is noting you, I or anyone else as fans can do to control any of that.

Our fate at the current time lies with the Haslam family and Andrew Berry.

I get that but is it really not accurate that's how things stand at the present time? I mean just look at the posts in this thread. The experiences the fans seem to love and place the most value on are of days gone by. From yesteryear. As things stand today it seems nobody has faith in the ownership. We have no clear QB, no OL worth speaking of and no clear #1 WR.

The best and strongest unit we had faith in just lost its DC. It's just a very murky and cloudy picture moving forward.

So I do believe all we are getting by on as fans are our fond memories and hope.

Anyone watching? I enjoy winter more than the summer olympics. Glad to see NBC finally got into the modern age with streaming coverage. I signed up for peacock and can watch everything, no extra packages to purchase. Now I can ignore all the tv coverage. I like the drone camera that is following the competitors down the course. Avoiding results is the hard part with the time difference.

Every Super Bowl Sunday I always wonder will I ever live to see the day when the Browns win a Super Bowl?

It seems like an impossible task. Beyond the realm of "maybe some day."

The Patriots won five games in 2024.

Please. Is there something that needs to be aligned in the cosmos?

Is there something I could do? It almost feels like I could win the billion dollar lottery easier than the Browns winning a SB.

Why do these other teams get to win and we do not? Ask AI maybe she will know.
